[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Number 3 is what we have in DC today, and it's' not really working. DCPS is still very segregated by race and the achievement gap is as wide as ever. [/quote] DC is not "segregated." Population demographics are different in different neighborhoods. That's it. I suppose one could describe demographic disparities based on racial categories, between nearby districts or zones, as "segregated" zones,[b] but that wouldn't mean anything other than people have decided to live in different zones for any number of reasons.[/b] Plus, the word "segregation" would not really be an accurate descriptor for the phenomenon under discussion.[/quote] #1 reason: Segregation of housing due to a history of gov't and financial institution policy. Don't be pedantic, DC is extremely segregated.[/quote]
